Cranberries are a favorite of mine. I live only minutes away from a cranberry bog. These muffins look and sound delicious. I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved dog. It will get better in time, but so painful in the meantime.

Gloria, I love muffins and the idea of adding cornmeal to the mix sounds great to me...a nice little change over the normal recipe! Thanks and have a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and a Terrific New Year. Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
